Rough weather

That's true, but there's one thing you can do to avoid this in rough weather; set all your torpedoes to explode on impact instead of magnetic. (In the tdc screen -where you can manually target your torpedoes etc- set the 'pistol' switch for each torpedo to 'I' instead of 'M') Also, don't set your torpedoes to run to deep, this way, they don't miss their targets. Magnetic detonation was designed for torpedoes to go off about 1,5 meter under your target without the torpedo actually hitting the ship. Beside the damage from the torpedo's explosion, it also creates a vacuum which makes the target flood with water. So basically, a torpedo set for magnetic detonation causes more damage.
In rough seas however, the target goes up and down because of the bigger waves, so the magnetic torpedo sometimes misses the target as it's too high in the water to set off the magnetic trigger.
